Abstract
Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide welcomes American President Bill Clinton to Haiti. President Clinton attends the changing of the guard for international peacekeepers in Haiti. As the US passes its peacekeeping responsibilities over to the UN, Yvette Collymore reports on how America views its future role in Haiti. In the Vatican's latest encyclical, Pope John Paul II has denounced the death penalty as morally wrong but has refrained from a blanket condemnation of executions. Archbishop of Kingston, Edgerton Clarke responds to whether he agrees with the Pope's message and how Caribbean Catholics will respond to it. Stark legal opposition is mounting in Trinidad and Tobago towards a proposal to abolish constitutional appeals to the Privy Council on criminal matters. Former President of the Republic and constitution framer, Sir Ellis Clarke comments on the constitutional bill.
